2 Critical Vulnerabilities

DATE CVE VENDOR VULNERABILITY CVSS
2008-05-07 CVE-2008-2108 PHP
Fedoraproject
Canonical
Debian 		Insufficient Entropy vulnerability in multiple products

The GENERATE_SEED macro in PHP 4.x before 4.4.8 and 5.x before 5.2.5, when running on 64-bit systems, performs a multiplication that generates a portion of zero bits during conversion due to insufficient precision, which produces 24 bits of entropy and simplifies brute force attacks against protection mechanisms that use the rand and mt_rand functions.
9.8
2008-05-05 CVE-2008-0599 PHP
Fedoraproject
Canonical
Apple 		Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size vulnerability in multiple products

The init_request_info function in sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c in PHP before 5.2.6 does not properly consider operator precedence when calculating the length of PATH_TRANSLATED, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted URI.

2008-05-09 CVE-2008-2122 IBM Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in IBM Rational Build Forge 7.0.2

IBM Rational Build Forge 7.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a port scan, which spawns multiple bfagent server processes that attempt to read data from closed sockets.
